The grand old Duke of York,<\/p>\n

He had 10,000 men,<\/p>\n

He marched them up to the top of the hill, (hold baby up in the air)<\/p>\n

And he marched them down again! (bring baby down to lap)<\/p>\n

And when they\u2019re down, they\u2019re down, (bring baby back down to lap)<\/p>\n

Nor down! (bring baby back down to lap)<\/p>\n

OUR NURSERY RHYME FLANNEL:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hush Little Baby<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Unfortunately I had a brain freeze when it came to the words of this lullaby.\u00a0 There are multiple versions that I’ve memorized but this one seemed to slip my mind (and right in the middle of storytime).\u00a0 Thankfully\u00a0my storytime attendees\u00a0were\u00a0forgiving.\u00a0 I’ve listed the words to this classic lullaby\u00a0below:<\/p>\n

\"Hush
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hush little baby, don’t say a word<\/p>\n

Papa’s gonna buy you a mockingbird.<\/p>\n

And if that mockingbird don’t sing,<\/p>\n

Papa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring,<\/p>\n

And if that diamond ring turns brass<\/p>\n

Papa’s gonna buy you a looking glass,<\/p>\n

And if that looking glass gets broke,<\/p>\n

Papa’s gonna buy you a billy goat.<\/p>\n

And if that billy goat won’t pull,<\/p>\n

Papa’s gonna buy you a cart and bull<\/p>\n

And if that cart and bull falls over,<\/p>\n

Papa’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover,<\/p>\n

And if that dog named Rover won’t bark<\/p>\n

Papa’s gonna buy you a horse and cart<\/p>\n

And if that horse and cart fall down,<\/p>\n

You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town.<\/p>\n

Itsy Bitsy\u00a0Spider<\/em><\/p>\n
